WhistlePig PiggyBack Single Barrel Rye is a 100% rye grain whiskey aged a minimum of six years, bottled at 96.56 proof. Distilled and produced in Vermont, it is part of WhistlePig's commitment to 100% rye mash bills — a departure from the industry standard of 51% minimum — delivering a bold, spice-forward spirit equally suited for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails.

The single barrel designation means each bottle comes from an individually selected barrel, resulting in subtle variations in character from one release to the next. On the nose, the whiskey presents fresh cinnamon, black peppercorn, and hints of tangerine and grapefruit zest. The palate is powerfully spicy with notes of cocoa, cardamom, and cured leather. The finish is wonderfully lengthy, with baking spices, vanilla, and hints of citrus. Its precisely calibrated proof of 96.56 is designed to hit the optimal point in the strength-sweet-bitter cocktail triangle, making it a favored choice among professional bartenders.

WhistlePig PiggyBack has earned a Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition and 93 Points from Wine Enthusiast.
